Pulaski Legion

The Pulaski Legion was a troop of lancers, two troops of dragoons, and 200 light infantry troops raised in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1778 for Count Casimir Pulaski during the American Revolutionary War. During the Battle of Little Egg Harbor in October 1778, the British bayonetted 50 of their members to death as they slept, and in 1779 they fought at the Siege of Savannah, where Pulaski was killed. After the Siege of Charleston they were merged with Charles Armand Tuffin's legion.
